Greetings from San Cristobal, NM, and beyond. We went to Abiquiu, Ghost Ranch, and the Rio Chama this week. We had the most changeable weather I’ve ever experienced in one eight-hour day.
If you’ve watched the movie “Silverado“ you’ll recognize this location in one of the earlier scenes. The four main characters come galloping across this landscape with a backdrop of spectacular lighting. If you haven’t seen the movie join me on a photo tour/workshop and I’ll take you out this way. On this day we were on an outing with friends Ron and Monica. It snowed, rained, and hailed with intermittent blue skies and sunshine, making for some dramatic images.
Returning home from Ghost Ranch we pulled over for a second time during the day. We watched it snow over the hills and Rio Chama as it winds and decides its way through to Abiquiu. The colors were astounding and the moisture made the air come alive.
My solo exhibition at Bareiss Gallery here in Taos continues through October 31, 2022. The gallery will be open 9 – 2 pm on weekdays. I’ll be there on Saturday, October 29, or by appointment. Come and visit. It will be great to meet you. If you purchased a piece of work in the show, thank you so much and please come by on Sunday, October 30, or Monday, October 31 to pick it up your new acquisition.
Bareiss Gallery is located at:
15 State Rd 150 Taos, NM

Thank you, Brian. I think it will be a beautiful drive. Especially through Abiquiu. Hi to Yvonne. G
These are really special, G. The Chama overlook cannot look more spectacular than this shot!!
Thank you, Steve. It may more colorful but this is the best I’ve seen it. Did you get out there this year cheers, G
OH! Those exquisite cottonwoods! We purposefully drive Rt. 285 to SF and we, too, caught the glory.
And, Geraint, Thanks for fixing the site. Now just one click and I’m there.
